Chatham Strong Fest:
ONLINE AUCTION NOW OPEN FOR DONATIONS
Submissions Due: July 2, 2025 at 5:00 PM
We are honored to partner with Cory Craig Auctions to host an online auction in support of the families impacted by the devastating tragedy.
This auction is more than just a fundraiser — it’s a symbol of our community’s love, strength, and willingness to lift each other up.
On April 28, 2025, tragedy struck our community in a way we could never have imagined. A woman suffering a medical emergency lost control of her vehicle and crashed through the building where an after-school program was taking place. Five precious children lost their lives. Several others were injured. Many more—children, staff, and families—witnessed something no one should ever have to see.In the wake of this heartbreaking event, our community has come together with heavy hearts and open arms. We are hosting the Chatham Strong Festival and launching an online auction to raise support for all of the families affected by this tragedy—those grieving, those healing, and those trying to carry on with the weight of what they experienced.The online auction is a way for us to give, to uplift, and to remind these families they are not alone. If you or your business would like to donate an item or service to the auction, submissions are due by July 2, 2025.Let me know if you want a shorter version for a caption or a version formatted for an email or flyer.
Every item, service, or experience donated is a chance to bring healing, relief, and hope to those who are still reeling from loss.All proceeds from the Chatham Strong Fest Online Auction will go directly to support the victims and families affected by the April 28th tragedy.
